Pets have a special way of making our days brighter and our hearts fuller. Whether they greet us with wagging tails, gentle purrs, or curious eyes, they bring joy in countless ways.
Some time ago, I asked the Bored Panda community to share photos of their beloved pets! Big or small, fluffy or scaly, any type of pet is welcome. Here's a collection of favorite snapshots that celebrate the adorable, funny, and heartwarming companions that make our lives brighter every day.

Boogle. He's 17 And A Half Years Old
wow, you seem to have hidden a youth fountain, he looks so young. Beautiful void :)
Ah Boogle is a senior like me. I had a wonder poodle his name was Pippen. He was 20 years old and I miss my little man.
Baby
"Feed me, Mum? See how cute I am?" She's gorgeous. My friend used to have a cat that looked exactly like your Baby. She has unfortunately passed away now (... the cat, not my friend), but we used to joke that she was a cockroach because she lived so long (20-something).
Thankyou. Doesn't matter the age,it still hurts. I'm sorry for your friends loss 💔

There Have Been Many, But Eben Was Something Special
We had Eben since he was born to one of our other cats. When I moved from Pennsylvania to DC, he came along, and slowly grew into a slightly grumpy old man. He always had more affection for me than any other cat I have been owned by, though. Scary intelligent, too. One of my housemates acquired a small tuxedo kitten that had been abandoned (Shadow). Shadow was sweet, but a bit timid and hasty. Once, startled, he sprang up to go into warp drive and smacked his head into the side of a doorway. Eben had seen that; he looked at us as if to say, "If you dare insinuate that we are related, I will hurt you." So many memories...
Snickers
Snickers after being with us at his forever home. He was found in a trash bag with his brothers and sisters.
A rubbish bag? People are disgusting. I think he needs a boop. He's gorgeous.

Whisky, My Golden Girl
Sir Eyebrows (Dickens)
Technically he's Mum's dog, not mine, but I borrow him sometimes 😆 His name comes from a TV show, I believe.
Utoy. He Crossed The Rainbow Bridge Last Month. I Miss Him Very Much
This Is Gabby!
She’s a 18 month old Corgi. We usually take in senior and special needs dogs but I thought maybe we should rescue a younger one to get us off the couch more. And Gabby certainly lives up to that expectation and her name. 😊

Little Willy. Born Outside, Developed Eye Infection, May Lose The Left Eye
Thank you. When I first took him to the vet it was possible (still is) he may end up totally blind. We will keep him and inside only cat.

Don't you love how they can't get rid of the spam but can censor 'willy'.

The personification of Darkness in Greek mythology. Seemed fitting for a void.
Load More Replies...The Three Idiots
My three idiotic fur-babies. Raiden (white), Gizmo (black and white) and Aurora (Bengal). All of them rescues, all of them spoilt and all of them complete idiots...
They look as if they are in control of the house (as it usually is with kitties)
Well, they are in charge of the floor they live on, the crested geckos are in charge on their own floor... thankfully I get the bedroom to myself if I need to escape the lot of them!

Mama is a 16 year old, blind, deaf and mostly toothless Yorkie. Had a hard time finding a picture of her awake. Mama does love her naps.
My Lovely Keena
...and a small amount of her floof on the rug. She is now 8 1/2 years old, but we adopted her after she spent her first two years in a terrible situation of hoarding, neglect and a***e. She's such a reserved girl.
No wonder she has that expression on her face, she's been through a lot, poor baby
Load More Replies...Just gorgeous! Reminds me of my sweet Pepper. I went down to New Orleans after Katrina to help rescue people’s abandoned pets. (No criticism of the people of New Orleans, they were told they would be home in three days.) Pepper was an owner release. He contacted the rescue agency I was working from and told them to adopt her out as they weren’t coming back. Best girl ever!❤️
Thank you for your help there! People like you are always needed!
Load More Replies...Booby And Prix (Bobby And Pixel)
I've attached another picture of Prix. Cockatiels generally don't like being held -- especially upside down, lol -- but she was so young when I got her that she tolerates it (and will sometimes fall asleep, but she would never admit that). Prix-2-68e...661d59.jpg
Booby is the normal (grey) cockatiel at the front. The slightly blurrier (sorry; I suck at taking photos) one at the back is Pringle/Prix. She's a cinnamon variant. (It actually took me a while to remember their proper names as they get called their nicknames so much -- AKA all the time.) Fun fact, all normal grey cockatiels are born looking like Booby. If they get the more orange cheeks and the tail/pants pattern fades by around two, then you have a gentleman cockatiel. You'll normally know this before then, though, as male cockatiels whistle whereas females will... not really whistle. I jokingly call it a 'boop' but it's really more like a screech, though not as unpleasant as that sounds.
My brother had a cockatiel like Booby, she was such a character. She preferred to walk everywhere even though she could fly. We all miss her.

Seamus is a 17 year old Husky. His family had to give him up due to major issues they were dealing with. He doesn’t like women. I couldn’t touch him for about the first six months and we are still working on that. Seamus loves my husband and tolerates the little guys. I’ll take that as a win.
Dang, he's doing well for his age! You must be an awesome owner ❤️

My scruffy baby girl... Full name: Ninkasi the Growler (she rarely growls). Named after the Sumerian goddess of brewing. She loves going to the breweries with me.
She looks as though she's contemplating the meaning of life 😆

I'm so sorry! But Whisky really is a great name for a cat. I can tell he was a sweetheart.
He became a love bug the older he got....
Load More Replies...no but I think his ghost is still there, I keep hearing the litter box lid get hit occasionally, it's a noticeable sound......

My Lady Eowyn - 16 Year Old Service Dog
She's a purebred pomeranian and has been with me since she was 4 months old. She's not as sharp on her alerts but always tries her best.
She's beautiful. Off-topic, but so is the chair on which she's sitting!
Thank you! I made all those pillows.

Roll (Cheeky)
Had to really think about this one, as he never gets called 'Cheeky', always Roll, to the point where at the vet they asked if I wanted to change the name they had on file there 😆 Here he is getting some loving. You can tell he's liking it because of how fluffy he is. Birds generally go fluffy like this when they're content or happy and him standing on only one foot shows that as well.
looks like you found the absolute correct spot to pet him. You have beautiful birdies.
Aww, thank you Bianca! I think they're beautiful as well (but I may be bias 🤣).
Load More Replies...Oh, more useless things about Roll; he's a talkative little bastard (despite how conures are meant to be one of the less talkative parrots out there; this one doesn't shut up). I've taught him incredibly useful phrases such as "eww; it's green!" and "eww; it's a bird!". He knows "stop" and will tell me to stop when I do something that annoys him, and he's *kind of* toilet trained, in that he'll go if you tell him to, but if you wait too long, then... welp, enjoy that massive shat on the floor.
Beautiful pets! ❤️ I won't post mine again as they've all been posted in other threads, but I love looking at everyone else's.
Just post some pictures, we haven't seen yet. More is always more ;).
Load More Replies...Love these. Just got an 8 week old border collie pup and it's gone amazing. She's a third the size of my savannah and less than a 10th the size of my gfs old golden. Was so worried they'd have troubles integrating but it went way faster than ever expected. The old dog isn't a huge fan of the pup but she's kind and my 6 year old 20 some pound savannah has been unbelievably kind and tolerant from the very jump. It's exhausting trying to parent that little girl but the fact the pets all got along immediately is amazing. My cat walter just puts a paw on the puppies head when she gets too crazy and she immediately walks off or lays down. He's kinda the only one she listens to yet. Hahaha.
